Okay, so what I'm trying to do is get my grip as high up on the bore axis as possible while also avoiding slide tats. However, when I fire the last round from my magazine, about half the time I end up releasing the slide because my thumb kind of rests on the slide stop lever. I've tried gripping the pistol with my thumb actually on the thumb rest/indentation and it feels like there's too much gun "above" my hands and I'd lose control of it when if fire.
What are you guys/gals doing? What works best for you? I have noticed that if I keep the tip of my thumb tip away from the slide stop lever, I do a little better (slide actually locks to the rear). I guess I'm looking for more of a 1911-style grip but I have nothing upon which to rest my thumb.
Taking suggestions.
